A masculine figure stands alone on a desolate city street. The light is dim, almost to the point where the figure becomes just a silhouette. The evening light has a cool bluish tone that contrasts with the remaining oranges and reds of the sunset in the background. The shot is taken from a low angle, giving the man an imposing presence. His face, though softened by the low light, carries a stern expression of determination. The depths in this shot come from the layers of buildings behind the man, each successively distant one appearing smaller, enhancing the perception of depth.
There is an interesting balance between the man and his surroundings; he is in sharp focus whereas the buildings blur into the background. His feet, clad in tough-looking boots, are placed firmly on the cobbled street which is slightly shiny from a recent rain. The camera slowly pans from a wide shot capturing the entire street to a close-up of his serious face and the cigarette he is smoking. The space around him is desolate, but this contributes to the overall mood of isolation. His placement in the scene is central, solidifying him as the main focus.
